Shower tray repair at your home in Shottisham
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s chips on the edges and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can help, on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Questions from Shottisham
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What areas do you cover?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Where we work around Shottisham
Shottisham is about 6 miles east of Kesgrave, in Suffolk. Our technicians come to homes and businesses in Shottisham and the surrounding area, so you don’t need to take anything anywhere. Shottisham is one of 731 towns and villages in Suffolk we cover. Our jobs stretch from Shottisham to London (about 74 miles away).
We cover every part of IP12. From The Street, Church Lane and Hollesley Road or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. Close by, we cover Sutton (1 mile north-west), Ramsholt (2 miles south), Sutton Common (2 miles north), Methersgate (2 miles north-west) and Hemley (3 miles south-west).

Local landmarks in Shottisham
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Church of St Margaret, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Woodbridge station, roughly 3.9 miles north-west of the centre.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Store bottles off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
